Project Overview
Project Background
Mr. Liu, based in Xiangyang, Hubei Province, operates a large secondary aluminum smelting facility with an annual processing capacity of 50,000 tons of scrap aluminum, including aluminum profiles, thermal break window scrap, cast aluminum parts, and sheet offcuts. With surging orders for aluminum ingots, his existing two small crushers could no longer meet throughput demands, and inconsistent output purity was affecting melting efficiency. After extensive market research and on-site testing, Mr. Liu selected Haoxing Machinery's HXPS1600 heavy-duty scrap aluminum crusher as the core pre-shredding unit, integrated with magnetic and eddy current separation to form a high-automation recycling line.
Equipment Configuration
| Equipment | Model/Specs | Quantity | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy-Duty Chain Plate Conveyor | B1200×12m, 11kW | 1 unit | Withstands impact from bulky scrap |
| Scrap Aluminum Crusher | HXPS1600, 280kW | 1 unit | Primary size reduction |
| Discharge Belt Conveyor | B1000×15m, 7.5kW | 1 unit | Transports crushed mixture |
| Magnetic Separator | CX800, 4kW | 1 unit | Removes ferrous contaminants |
| Eddy Current Separator | ECS1000, 7.5kW | 1 unit | Separates aluminum from non-metallics |
| Pulse Jet Baghouse Dust Collector | DMC-200, 15kW | 1 unit | Workshop dust control |
| Centralized PLC Control Cabinet | Automated | 1 set | One-touch operation, real-time monitoring |
On-Site Status
Haoxing's technical team has completed installation, alignment, and no-load testing of all equipment. The HXPS1600 rotor passed dynamic balancing checks, the hydraulic lid opener operates smoothly, and all conveyors and separators are synchronized. The photos were taken during the final pre-commissioning inspection, with loaded trial runs scheduled to begin within three days.
Expected Performance and Benefits
Design Capacity: Processes 12-18 tons per hour of aluminum scrap, achieving a daily throughput of 100-150 tons (8-hour shift).
Output Size: Adjustable screen grate produces uniform granules 5-20 mm with a bulk density of 1.2-1.5 t/m³.
Aluminum Purity: Magnetic and eddy current separation deliver expected purity ≥98.5%, meeting furnace-ready specifications.
Labor Savings: Fully automated line requires only 2-3 operators, reducing manpower by 5+ workers compared to previous setup.
ROI Estimate: Payback period projected at 10-12 months based on current processing margins.
Customer Testimonial
"Our old small crushers couldn't even process 50 tons a day, and the output was never clean enough. We chose the Haoxing 1600 for its massive throughput and reliable separation. The installation team was professional, and commissioning went smoothly. I'm fully confident in the line's performance once production starts." — Mr. Liu
Project Value
This installation demonstrates the suitability of Haoxing's HXPS series heavy-duty scrap aluminum crushers for medium to large secondary aluminum smelters. For facilities processing 30,000-100,000 tons annually, the HXPS1600 combined with eddy current separation provides an optimal balance of capacity and product quality, significantly reducing overall processing costs and enhancing market competitiveness.
